Learn how to compute your GPA

Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is a weighted average of all your course work. This means that a grade in a four-hour course will change your GPA more than the same grade in a three-hour course. It also means that your GPA gets hearder to change when you have taken more courses. To calculate your estimated GPA, you would do the following:

For each course you multiple the course credit hours times the grade you receive to get the "quality points" for that course. Your grades have the following numerical equivalents; each A is 4, each B is 3, each C is 2, each D is 1, and each F is 0. Add up the quality points for each course and divide the results by the total credit hours to get your semester's GPA. For example, supose you were taking the following courses:

Your GPA for the term would be 31 divided by 13 which equals 2.38.
